    I am still happy with my Pilot 3's, they are really grippy in the damp and cold conditions and even on Sunday when it was really mild they gripped like sh*t to a blanket meaning my friend on his duc could not keep up because his supercorsas had no heat in them.

    I have had a look at the BT023's and they get a good write up!! Also Ron Haslam is running them on his Blades at his race school so they must be ok for the Blades!

    I've got the pilot 3's on the 929, think their awesome tyres- Changed from 021's, which i though were shocking!

    I am thinking of getting the BT023's also, they were recommended by Dobles for me. Just under £300 for the pair fitted, balanced with new valves.... Anyone know of any cheaper?

    Well I've had the BT 0-23's fitted and they are a great tyre. They give you loads of confidance from the off. The bike feels so much better on the road, So glad I got rid off the BT 0-15's. I've only done about 350 miles and so far am well chuffed.

    Had a good run out on the bike yestarday and yip the tyres were second to none. Good country roads so getting over fine and no problems at all.
